The price of a camera that can be used to shoot movies varies according to the level, but the bare metal alone is hundreds of thousands of yuan, plus the special cinema lens, and this number has to be added to the back by a zero.

Therefore, many small crews are renting equipment for filming.

The crew of "Desperate Western Wilderness" was quite frustrated after discovering the loss of a camera for the first time.

Originally, there was a scene record that had to be called to the police immediately, but the director team, the producer and a number of salted fish surrounded the black car and found a different clue and stopped the waste of police resources.

"There's something weird. ”

"Something is wrong. ”

"Don't call the police. ”

Gan Jing glanced at the director team who were moving from a western film to a suspense film around the car door, and sighed deeply: "We don't shoot night scenes, why don't we take them back at night?"

Producer Liu Zhejie said with a smile: "Photographers like to shoot more, I originally thought that there was no one here, and it was no problem to change the battery and check it every half a day in the first two days, so I wanted to see if I could shoot any surprises at night......

"It was a pleasant surprise. Gan Jing pointed to the marks on the car door, "Look at this scratching and biting, there are wolves at night." ”

The real answer was told in advance by the director. Assistant director Li Dali shook his head and squatted on the side of the car to observe the land for a while, "The geology is too hard, and it doesn't leave any paw prints, director, you say this is really a wolf, what is it doing with a camera? It has to be a group cooperation, right?"

Gan Jing replied: "I'm not a wolf, how do I know what they want to do, look for it, the camera can't be eaten, it's useless for a wolf to ask for this thing." ”

As the eye can tell, the endless Gobi Desert is truly uninhabited, and the traces of the destruction of the camera mount and rope used to hold the car in place also look like the work of living beings.

A group of people in the crew spread out with the black car as the center point, the time is daytime, and they are not alone, and everyone is not worried about meeting one or several wolves who committed crimes.

After about a few dozen minutes, the crew of "Outlaw in the West" successfully found the camera that was abandoned on the ground alone.

The camera is dead, and there are slight tooth marks that indicate signs of some creature.

"It's not bad, it's reduced the property loss of the crew. Gan Jing is still very happy to find the camera, although the photographer will not pay for the loss, but more is better than less.

However, when the scene ended that day, what was recorded in the camera was a little surprising to the director team, the shaky picture was okay, and the recorded wolf howl was very real, natural and atmospheric.

Gan Jing listened to it twice and then said to the director team: "This reminds me that the protagonist can't tell the direction after entering the sandstorm in order to get rid of the pursuit, this kind of wolf howl is good at night, and in addition, it can be used as a tidbit when it is announced, which is very chic." ”

"In other words, Lao Liu, Lao Shang, when are you expecting the release of this film? If it's not too far away, this kind of thing can be used as a warm-up. ”

The two producers Liu Zhejie and Shang Xiangfei glanced at each other, this question is actually a bit strange to ask in the crew at this time, half of the scenes have been filmed, and one of the producers only remembered to understand the release......

It's just that, thinking about Xie Jiang, who is now recuperating in bed, that director is also quite strange, so according to the logic of "people are divided into groups", it is suddenly much more acceptable.

"This time next year, at the end of December, or, the year after. Shang Xiangfei said, "Director Xie wants to polish it for a long time, uh, that's what he thought before he fell ill." ”

"Oh. ”

Shang Xiangfei glanced at Gan Jing, and didn't understand what his response represented, it was okay in the past, and now he is also a part of the producer, it stands to reason that it is completely feasible to promote the progress of the work.

Among them, the editing rights of works, production and distribution, Gan Jing has enough reasons to bypass Xie Jiang.

Why does the world have such an "oh" word?

Shang Xiangfei frowned, and instantly made up the expression of multiple meanings in his mind.

"The filming of the exterior has to wait for a day, and this week I will finish filming Lin Shu and Liu Liwen and the fragmentary supporting roles. Gan Jing's concept has ended the previous paragraph, and he continued to arrange, "Then I will mainly shoot me and others, and finally make up the shots, so that it is faster to shoot." ”

"Oh. Shang Xiangfei responded.

Gan Jing looked at Shang Xiangfei and emphasized: "What do you mean by this? Do you understand or are you distracted? The crew's shooting plan is clearly lined up, don't be vague." ”

Shang Xiangfei: "I ......"

"Understood?" Gan Jing was serious.

Shang Xiangfei nodded: "Understood......"

Gan Jing shook his head, feeling that the people in this crew are sometimes really a little weird, this Shang Xiangfei has a lot of worries from time to time, the assistant director Li Dali may be a dog, and the producer Liu Zhejie's little abacus is crackling.

Eh, you have to be a serious person like yourself to suppress them in order to keep the whole crew running well.

Gan Jing felt a heavy sense of responsibility on his shoulders at this moment, not to mention anything else, he had to be worthy of Lao Xie's trust - although there were changes and cuts, everything was for the movie.

......

The actors' scenes in the crew were carried out in an orderly manner while waiting for the sandstorm, and Gan Jing stood in front of the monitor to play the role of a nanny-type director, in which he had the least communication with Lin Shu and the most communication with Liu Liwen.

Of course, the amount of speech does not fully represent the level of acting skills, Liu Liwen is a professional actor after all, and the other supporting roles are looking for local herdsmen to make temporary cameos in order to match the atmosphere of the story.

This cameo is a testament to how awkward and unnatural the camera can make a person, and such a state is not at all irreversible by performing and teaching in person.

Therefore, this is the most painful thing Gan Jing faced after directing Lin and Liu.

What about the pain?

Throw it to someone else.

The performance requirements of local guest actors are not high, just basic and trivial, and in addition, they need to be appeased, which is exactly what assistant directors and executive directors can do.

After two days of pain, Gan Jing quickly found the best way to paddle, and then diverted some of his attention to something extra.

The storyboard is almost drawn to the day when the crew ends, the initial cutting opinions of "Me and Him" and "Infernal Affairs 2" need to be controlled from afar, and the narrative rhythm of "Outlaw in the West" can communicate with Xie Jiang, who is gradually recovering.

The last month of 2013 ended in peace.

In the first month of the Gregorian New Year, the crew of "Outlaw in the West" ushered in the long-awaited sandstorm, and Gan Jing ushered in the old man and daughter who visited the class, as well as a certain diva who threatened to come out to relax.

The weather is still very cold, and Gan Jing is used to completing the backbone of the crew's filming by himself at this point in the middle of the process.

He's going to go.
